The 2017 Silver Eagle is a one-ounce coin featuring the iconic Walking Liberty design on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse. It is part of the American Eagle series, produced by the United States Mint, and issued as legal tender with a face value of $1, although its intrinsic silver value often far exceeds this amount. The five-dollar coin typically refers to the gold commemorative or bullion pieces, while the Silver Eagles are primarily sought after for their silver content and collector appeal.
